Joe DeMaio ([email protected]) is a professor of mathematics at Kennesaw State University. He earned a B.S. and M.A. from Wake Forest and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Emory. His interests include realizing combinatorial identities through graphs, values in the domination chain, and Hamiltonicity. He occasionally disguises these topics as the mathematics of chessboard puzzles, to trick unsuspecting students into working with him.
